Qosmio G35-650 - do I lose my data on the HARD drive?

Ok. I tried everything to repair an installation of XP on my Qosmio G35-650.
The recovery disk was a joke and would not work... I decided to skip all the DMI troublemakers, I read and clean install a copy of XP.

Put drivers Raid on a diskette and proceeded with the installation. The installer would not install on the boot partition and gave me an error "page_fault. I went into the bios and changed disk to JBOD RAID 0, disk 1 has already been set to JBOD.
Entered again the program installation and the place where you select the partition to install only a single partition has been demonstrated.

It wasn't a good thing I backed up all my data from drive C: (disk 0) to drive F: (disc 1).
I went to the BIOS and reset the drive on Raid 0 and started the installation again.
Two partitions have been showing this time but 1 disk did not show a drive F: indicator.

The question. Have I lost all my data on the second drive of 100 GB in the system?
My F: drive is recoverable?

Help!

If you change the RAID settings, it will wipe the data. Generally, all systems RAID wipe data when they are created.

But you can have a chance to recover most of the data. There are data programs/recovery utilities that analyzes the HARD disk for the file fragments and attempt to recover your files (at least the files that have not yet been overwritten). Google search for "recovery data drive hard format»

Why don't you use the recovery disk? If the instrument is incorrect, you can simply download a DMI tool to update the name of the product "Qosmio G35" or "Qosmio G30".
The tool can be found on the site of Toshiba America.

    Hello

    If the old system does not start could be the hard drive. Put the hard drive in another computer as a 2nd drive and then access the files. If you use a computer XP, Vista or Windows 7, you should be able to access the files, unless the drive has failed.

    You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd drive (better) or a USB external drive case and then save up to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives. Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

    Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data. (This will not work if the hard disk is defective or other issues preventing the system from booting from the CD/DVD drive.)

  • Access the data on the hard drive

    My hard drive on my laptop failed.  I replaced and reinstalled windows vista, but I could not access any data on the old hard drive.  I was able to install it as a backup of my desktop computer hard drive and I can see the directory structure, however, whenever I try to access the data in My Documents, I get an error G:\users\moe\documents\my is music is not accessible access is denied.  Any ideas how I can access this information, assuming that it is not a physical problem with the hard drive.  I have the password of windows I used to access the computer, but I don't know how to use it since this drive is not the one I am running windows from.  The computer that I use to access the data on the hard drive is on windows XP, if that makes a difference.

    The computer tries to access the old hard drive and the old hard drive are XP.  It is a forum for Vista.  All the procedures I have on this issue are only for Vista.  You should repost your question in the right place.

    Please repost your question in the Forums XP: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsxp where XP experts will be happy to help you to gain access.  I don't know it's just a simple issue of permissions and/or property which can be easily solved with the correct procedures.

  • Need to retrieve the BONES but do not have the habit of losing data on the HARD drive

    Dear all!

    For long time now, I tried to disable a Trojan horse or a worm, on my Windows XP Home (Home!) i.e. get rid of the cftmon_.exe, when I decided to follow the instructions from Symantec and pieces manually deleted from the register, I guess she was part USERINIT (turn off the system before restore and put on after the deletion).

    It can be as well as I did not right, something after the fact that I have would be to end the session at the time the logon process has started. This is relatively known issue here, with different options.

    -J' need to keep the data on two HARD drives.
    -I have no other partitions.
    -I don't know what I've got on one of them, which I could use to free space Recovery Expert mode.

    a. the fact that I want to take the option with Toshiba, which is Expert mode (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2513&tstart=125) as a last recovery, DVDs on

    b. I have trouble with the installation of the Recovery Console (with Windows XP (Professional!) original CD, 'R' for 'fix), but I would get the message "Setup has not found hard disk units installed in your computer"...
    I understand that I would need to install the driver RAID (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=20093&messageID=73758) but I'm afraid that this may delete the data on the disc.

    My questions are the following:

    1 install the RAID driver (downloaded from the Toshiba off site web http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/updates/raid-drv/raid-drv-qog20-xp-1380.zip and installed on the floppy drive I guess) so we hope to install the Recovery Console, and do the rest of the work, make data disappear my 2 (remove) HARD drives?

    2. If I use Toshiba Recovery DVD, Expert mode that is finally what is the size of partition should be recorded for the mirror on the half vacuum 1.HDD?, should I partition 2 HDD, after it backup and count data will be lost? Choose any setings special during the process, apart from those mentioned in the link above? What should I do after wards? The registry damaged when you logged in and how can I build? I will be able to use personal and archive data from Microsoft Outlook?

    3. is there a alternative with UBCD4Win and UBCD? What is the best? What is the procedure of after the start of the CD after reboot? How to copy/repair the userinit files?

    I'm sorry for the load of information, but I am pretty stuck. All the necessary data for my normal life are buried here!

    A big thank you JohnnyS, tw, Quad, Eldorado and many others!

    See you soon!

    Hi friend

    I would like to respond on comments like yours, it s a good exercise for my work and my s really cool to have a few topics which will help all the people here.

    JohnnyS is a friend of mine who works with me at our office and we talked a bit about your problem.
    If his opinion is to use the UBCD4Win and work with this option.

    The advice from him were:

    Take a USB - HDD enclosure and put a disk in it and start with UBCD4Win. Copy any important data in a folder on the external HARD drive, then remove the uneeded data on this subject. Only important data!
    Make a backup of your data on the external hard drive for two HDD´s I hope that you have enough free space.

    Format the drive in your machine and get it back. Install the system as usual on your first HARD drive.
    Then put the data anywhere.

    So I don't know if I have it just ask, a little more explanation would be useful. I think that this is a long thread. ;)

  • Satellite L300-110 - how to recover without losing any data on the HARD drive?

    Hi all
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-110

    The question is how can I recover my laptop with the recovery DVD without losing all the data located in the hard drive?

    I confirm the information published by Luke.
    The HARD drive and all other partitions should be formatted using the recovery disk.
    Why? The recovery disc sets the laptop to factory settings and to this end, the HARD drive must be formatted first.

    That is why it s is strongly recommended to back up the data if you want to use the recovery disk.

    Hello

    It creates a boot disk that allows you to test the drive HARD and of course the two partitions.
    If the error would be detected, then it means that the HARD drive failure could be the reason for this

  • Satellite P200-1EE Possible to recover data on the HARD drive by placing it in an envelope?

    P200-1EE does not start after 2 weeks off is the case during a fan installation. Is it possible to remove the hard drive, put it in an enclosure and retrieve the data it contains on another PC? Or can anyone recommend how to recover data from the comfort of my own home?

    Thanks for your help

    I would say that your installation of fan caused this problem in the first place. I would check your installation for loose connectors, cards not seated properly, no fan or heatsinks screws tight etc..

    Everything you did everything by installing the new fan plugged the laptop. The hard disk, in my opinion, is perfectly fine. There is nothing wrong with it.

    Put the suspect hard drive in an enclosed and try to access the data on another PC. You will encounter problems with administrator access to certain folders so you will need to find a way to crack in these areas.

    If you had problems in the first place you probably should have this return to the place of purchase for them to watch.

    I hope that for your sake you have not turned into a frisbee.

  • Question about deleting data from the HARD drive

    Hello

    The C drive on my computer satellite phone is almost full, 1.21 Gb free of 55.7 and drive E has 10.9 GB 36 GB free. How can I solve this problem. I am not concerned by what is deleted. It can go if you have to.

    Slowing down the laptop down to something serious.

    Any help would be great.

    Hello

    It seems that drive E has little more free space
    So, you can move some files like photos, movies, files pm3 or any that you have stored on the partition, the partition E.

    You can also reduce the E partition and can add free space on the C partition.
    To do this, you must use a 3rd party software
    I recommend using a freeware tool called * Gparted.*

    How to get it? Google is your friend ;)

    Hi all, can you help me please?

    So I removed the HARD drive and formatted on another pc handed over and tried again still no luck. So loaded XP Professional SP 1,2,3 to the HARD disk via the second pc normally looks good as that pc works ok in F30 it starts up windows black screen then goes to blue screen then reboots and starts again.

    I think something got into the BIOS I downloaded it from the support site, but it won't work. Nothing happens. I'm doing something wrong?
    It looks like you can only update the bios under Windows. I can't because I can't get in there, it says use F12 all I can use is F1

  • erasure of data from the hard drive?

    Hey Microsoft, I have a problem

    I had two boot(win_xp_pro_and_win_7_ult).they are the two 32 bit.

    so I tried exchanging win xp with win vista ult 32 bit (download, NOT on the cd).

    I started to install and after 4 5 steps made my pc restarted and it stuck at "Please wait windows is to configure your computer" or something similar to this for 30-40 minutes.

    I rebooted it and started on win 7 I started by now. I tried to start the whole process of win 7, hoping that it will not get stuck, but he said I need space on my hard drive I got previously from win xp. So I opened up Explorer and I have seen that there are a few new files (from win vista).

    I tried once more (started on vista) and my pc has been blocked for the same post in front. So I decided to free up space and tried to format the hard drive, but I received a message(on_win_7):Windows was unable to complete the format. I tried to delete all the files, but I've done worse thereby; I get error file missing at the start of vista. I have the installation files on my win 7 and I want to delete everything on my hard drive.

    Please help and thanks in advance!

    I suggest that you contact HP or ask their Support Forums.

    It's the normal advice I'd give to record data; but we have no idea of the State of your hard drive.

    Saving your files:

    You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

    Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF your material is all work) > and copy your data from the hard drive like that.

  • XP is not start properly, important data files on the hard drive, location unknown such as e-mail addresses, individual emails and favorite links on Internet Explorer. The system is damaged irreparably, what is the solution?

    I need ideas to solve this problem.

    You can retrieve the data without being able to get into Windows. The methods described require a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself best, and if a better course of action would be to take the machine to a local professional with a good reputation instead. If you choose to do, do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

    1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

    2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

    You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

    * If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it- http://www.pendrivelinux.com
